Cleanup is complete. I have every VIN entered that can be looked up.
1. Prior to this last surge of data, CWM and Rhodium were duking it out for "rarest" color. But now CWM went crazy in the later builds, leaving Rhodium as the clear cut, least selected color.
2. No one yet has gotten a Guards Red car with Yellow stitching. If you want to a rare car... there ya' go!
3. Silver rims is another way to get a rarer car.
4. Interesting that people who get Steel Brakes go with Platinum wheels far more often than Black. But PCCB buyers go with Black Wheels way more than Platinum. Probably speaks to the fact that Platinum Wheels and Steel Brakes are both no cost.
5. It seems to me that sometimes Porsche tries to group the builds by Paint color, but now it seems that later in the game they have grouped by seat selection. You can see long series of all LWB cars being built sequentially in the later months.
And one last thing. It still seems to me that it would be "wrong" to make full VIN #'s available on a publicly shared document, so I have hidden them. However knowing that I now have every single VIN, including place holders for missing VIN's someone could figure out any exact VIN #'s with some simple counting. Previously I had sorted by VIN #. But in order to thwart the above I changed that and instead sorted first by build month and then by VIN#. The outcome of this is that the VIN's are not in perfect order and if you tried to derive a VIN by counting you would be incorrect.
I am still not sure why I should be hiding the VIN's but just because I am not sure doesn't mean I should expose them. Just the fact that Porsche's own VIN lookup doesn't like to receive multiple VIN requests tells me I should probably not make it easier. So anyway that is the way it is.

At a quick glance it looks like roughly 750 cars either in or on their way to North America. And LWB's are in roughly 35% of them. The average MSRP is $98,985. And the median MSRP is $98,200. Is this correct?

That is my last hope for excitement out of this, when the first PTS car shows up!

I'm not the biggest fan of black wheels, but I have to say I think it looks really good with the Rhodium. Nice choice.

Oh that reminds me.
At this point I can add a column for any option people are interested in. I think I captured the most significant ones already.
However there may be others that people will want to see. Wing supports? Seat Belts? Stereo options?
So if you have an opinion on that, post it here.

Unfortunately I don't know anything about production timelines other than when a VIN has been issued and the production month. I can tell you that your car is a September production month. But frankly I don't know what that means exactly.
